Labor Law Approach to Development of Corporate Culture

Researchers and corporate managers are interested in the development of corporate culture to arrange Human Relations (HR) management processes in a rapidly changing economy as potential employees choose an employer paying attention both to the level of pay and career development opportunities, corporate culture, and even the values of enterprises, institutions, and companies. The paper summarizes and analyzes various approaches to defining and developing corporate culture by focusing on the fact that the legal approach is rarely considered by scientists when studying the core values of a company’s culture. Therefore, the authors propose to consider the diversity and complexity of the company and, first of all, its culture based on compliance with applicable labor law by the subjects of labor relations (employees and employers). Otherwise, outside the legal framework, the system (as an organization) will create a burden on law enforcement agencies and affect the legal awareness of individuals integrated in such system and society as a whole due to the obvious risks created by persons who break the statutory rules. It is also proposed to use a legal approach as more rational and combining both the labor law and legal provisions on HR management (HR marketing) and the basics of legal and social psychology.
